Weekly Anime Episeries: Seitokai Yakuindomo Episode 4

Once again we are back with a stunning anime episode review. And as the last episode this one seems to be rather uneventful, but there are certain minor aspects to look at.

Each girls' previous discussed personality traits are further reinforced.

• Shino: She is afraid of heights and blames herself for not being able to bring the class to Kiyomizudera. Throughout the episode she is still seen with the same perverted and sexual attitude, being able to turn practically anything into a perverted bonanza of fun.
• Aria: We are reminded that she is the rich and dumb character of the series. She works very well in tangent with Shino, but is particularly unaware of how rich she really is. She is also the real only piece of fanservice in the entire episode, besides short skirts. When she unties her tie and unbuttons her shirt, this is one of the only points of fanservice so far in the first 4 episodes. This could demonstrate a leaning towards the direction of perversion over fanservice.
• Suzu: We are constantly reminded of her low stature, and that she is a genius. In this episode instead of getting mad at everyone she is actually pretty normal and even manages to crack a joke of her own.

Next I will just list a few more important-but still minor-points of the episode:

• -When they talk about sex, words such as penis and sex are Bleeped out. This could mean that these words cannot be said on Japanese Television, but otherwise this is a very interesting move that I am not in total agreeance with.
• -Mitsuba has already established the judo team. I expect to see a lot more comedic scenes evolve from the judo team, because Mitsuba is shown in the OP.
• -The president's birthday is June 12th, to which everyone gives presents that are representative of the type of person they are.

Finally, My thoughts:

• As a comedy, I definitely feel like the WOW factor that they had in the beginning has died down a bit. As a ballpark figure I would rate the 2 episodes at about 8-9, to which this episodes definitely falls to about an 7.5-8. It is for sure funny, but the scenes are too irrelevant to anything to be that much more enjoyable.
• Finally, I feel like the show has a prevalency to avoid loving relationships and dramatic moments, particularly in the first and last scenes with Tsuda and Shino. One thinks that the umbrella scene would be highly emotional and end with walking home all happy and lovey-dovey. Nope. The episode actually ends with Tsuda catching a cold in the rain. The show manages to avoid these deep and loving moments and focus on delivering comedy and comedy only. This is a rather interesting approach and should be noted and I will definitely explore this trend in further episodes.
